Description

Dr. Joan Fallon is the Founder and serves as Chief Executive Officer and Board Member at Curemark. She also serves as Secretary of the Board of Trustees at Pratt Institute. She began her research on Autism and related disorders over 20 years ago and founded Caremark as a platform to develop product candidates to address her findings.

She has played an integral role in two very successful (and unprecedented) medical ventures. She was an Oxford Health Plans board member and helped achieve underwriting authority from New York State, for alternative and complementary medicine where none had yet existed. She also helped implement a cost-effective, interdisciplinary health plan for Oxford that increased the level of quality care for all children enrolled there. Dr. Fallon has written numerous scholarly articles, lectured around the world on developmental problems in the pediatric population, and served on the Board of Directors of the ICA and Kentuckiana Children's Center. She serves as a Senior Advisor to the Henry Crown Fellows at The Aspen Institute, as well as a Distinguished Fellow at the Athena Center for Leadership Studies at Barnard College/Columbia University. She is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Franklin & Marshall College. She holds a B.A. degree from Franklin and Marshall College, and a DC degree from Palmer University, and has completed the coursework for the MSc in clinical investigation from Harvard University's joint program with Massachusetts General Hospital.
